I've been away from this site for a couple of years (new wife and all) and was curious if other Contour and SVT owners have racked up miles like me. I am the original owner of a '98 SVT TR and have been fortunate to have few mechanical issues during my 175,000+ miles. I'll be giving the car some much needed TLC in the next couple of weeks (mostly cosmetic), but I still love the car and will likely run it well past 200K.

 244,000kms aka 152,500 miles here and running strong! This Duratec still capable of surprising other newer cars on the road! Anybody wanna pay me to drive my car around the continent? P.S. Canadians need to learn to merge to the right lane!

I don't have as much as moxnix, but I've got 102K on my '00 SE. CEL has been on once, removed the battery cable for a while, and have not seen the light since. It's been one heluva car.
